In today’s web2.0 era, more and more websites are user generated and boast dynamic content. Users sumbit text, images, videos, providing content for entire web sites. Most of the time, people submit photos straight from their camera because they don’t have photo editing programs or they don’t know how to use them. This simplified tool gives your users the ability to create a selection area that can be used to crop an image, live on your web site.
With UvumiTools Crop, you don’t have a dozen handles and double-click features. Drag from the middle to move, tug on the lower-right corner to resize, and that’s it. Simple. To use this plugin you’ll need Mootools 1.2. UvumiTools Crop must be paired with a server-side script that will actually be able to so something with the coordinates.
Requirements: Mootools Framework 1.2

A while ago, we have introduced 220+ Glossy Flag Icons in PNG format, Bartelme Design Flag Button Devkit. If you are looking for mini flag icons, you should visit FAMFAM Flag Icons as well. Many websites / web applications have different versions for different countries, and some of them support different languages as well. I am sure a set of flag icons / pictures can help us so much.
Now we can create our own set of flag icons for our websites / web applications, because MSN Multimedia Center provides us a set of flags, including 192 Countries, Canadian Provinces & Cities, Islands and U.S. States, Territories, & Regions.

OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles and markers loaded from any source. MetaCarta developed the initial version of OpenLayers and gave it to the public to further the use of geographic information of all kinds.
OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies. OpenLayers implements a JavaScript API for building rich web-based geographic applications, similar to the Google Maps and MSN Virtual Earth APIs, with one important difference – OpenLayers is Free Software, developed for and by the Open Source software community.
As a framework, OpenLayers is intended to separate map tools from map data so that all the tools can operate on all the data sources.

Superfish is an enhanced Suckerfish-style menu jQuery plugin that takes an existing pure CSS drop-down menu (so it degrades gracefully without JavaScript) and adds the some nice features as well. The reveal of sub-menu is animated, uses a fade-in by default but can be given a custom object to be used in the first argument of the animate function. The animation speed is also customisable but is set to “normal†by default.
There is a set of callback functions (onInit, onBeforeShow, onShow and onHide) available as well, allowing for further enhancements and functionality to be added without needing to alter the core Superfish code.

Canvas 3D Graph is a special type of bar graph that plot numbers in 3D. <canvas> tag is not supported in IE, so the author was forced to use excanvas.js in order to draw graph in IE. As the result of that, you may experience some freezes when you try to plot large amount of data in IE. Firefox and safari works just fine (aprox 10x faster than emulated canvas in IE). This is initial release, he planned to add many more features, so stay stay tuned for the updates.
